Abstract

This article is based on the Foreword to the translation of the novel I Have Right to Kill Myself. It is focused on the notes about above mentioned novel, but also discusses the contemporary Korean novels, the opus of Kim Young Ha, and the place of this novelist and his work in contemporary world literature. It also provides some insight in cross cultural ties between tradition of what is called “western canon” and East Asian adaptation of the
genre of novel, as developed in Modernism and Post-modern “condition” of Anthropocene.
